Overview

Just like any workplace, educational institutions need to meet minimum

requirements under SafeWork Australia’s First Aid in the Workplace Code of Practice in terms of first aid equipment available to workers, students and visitors to their facilities. Additionally, the Department for Education also has requirements and recommendations for school environments, relating to the number and type of first aid kits and additional modules that need to be present.

Thunderstorm asthma can affect anyone, even those without a history of asthma. Most at risk are people with a history of asthma, unrecognised asthma, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), particularly seasonal hay fever, or an allergy to grass pollen. 3

Schools need to be vigilant on days with thunderstorm forecasts and high or extreme pollen count, particularly in late spring or early summer. Having asthma medication and equipment on site can be lifesaving. 3. Asthma Australia (2017), Thunderstorm asthma.
